Miscellaneous / / April 16, 2021
About household chores, money and dentists.
There is a new interesting one on Reddit thread. It discusses what aspects of adulthood the school did not prepare us for. Collected some popular answers.
1. You have to decide what to cook for dinner, every day for the rest of your life. — GreaseGeek
2. Vegetables in the refrigerator die too quickly. — 2facedSquid
3. Realizing that if you have a thousand dollars, then this is not so much. But this is a lot if you owe this thousand to someone. — OverlordBrandon
4. No matter how carefully you take care of your teeth, they still gradually wear out, and their condition worsens. — USSMarauder
5. When you are sick, you have to take care of yourself on your own. Previously, you were looked after by your parents, as a last resort, you could take everything you needed from a packed first-aid kit. Now I have to gather my last strength to go to the pharmacy for aspirin and cough lozenges. — niwawhatuira
6. You have to decide whether you can fix something on your own, or it's time to contact a specialist. — Moosh106
7. It turns out that there is no universal scheme that would make it possible to understand whether a specialist cheats you for money (it doesn't matter whether a dentist or a plumber), or just does what is really necessary. — YoureNotMom
8. There are too many things to do, and when you finally manage to carve out free time, you are mentally exhausted to do something for yourself, something really interesting, and in the end you just flipping through social networks and watch TV. — kspkspksp
9. Cleaning is actually a never-ending process. Yes, many of us helped around the house when we were younger, but then we did not understand the true scope of the work. Now I have cleaned the whole house, but by the middle of the week everything will be covered in dust, crumbs and cat hair. And I don't even have children! It’s like evil gnomes come in at night and make a mess so I’ll have to waste time cleaning again. — Sn00dlerr
10. Managing your finances. I had to independently study everything about income distribution, distribution of debts, pensions and savings. — MagicSPA
11. You may not communicate with anyone for weeks. At first it seems like it's insanely cool, and 2 months later you are standing in the kitchen and talking to a toaster while it toasts you bread. — austinape9
